Convert the array of an object into an array

Question

Convert the array of an object to an array.

My array which I created in JavaScript is based on the array.push function. There I got an array in an object, and then I converted it into an array by using JSON.stringify(myarray):

[PensionLimit] =>
    [
        {"member":1,"pension_name":"1A","min":"N/A","max":"N/A","actual":0,"pension_type":"4","result":"N/A"},
        {"member":1,"pension_name":"1B","min":"N/A","max":"N/A","actual":0,"pension_type":"4","result":"N/A"},
        {"member":1,"pension_name":"1C","min":"N/A","max":"N/A","actual":0,"pension_type":"4","result":"N/A"},
        {"member":2,"pension_name":"2A","min":"N/A","max":"N/A","actual":1,"pension_type":"4","result":"N/A"},
        {"member":2,"pension_name":"2B","min":"N/A","max":"N/A","actual":0,"pension_type":"4","result":"N/A"},
        {"member":2,"pension_name":"2C","min":"N/A","max":"N/A","actual":2000,"pension_type":"4","result":"N/A"},
        {"member":3,"pension_name":"3A","min":"N/A","max":"N/A","actual":0,"pension_type":"4","result":"N/A"},
        {"member":4,"pension_name":"4A","min":"N/A","max":"N/A","actual":0,"pension_type":"4","result":"N/A"}
    ]

How do convert it?

My expected output is:

[PensionLimit] => Array
    (
        [1] => Array
            (
                [member] => 1
                [pension_name] => "1A"
                [min] => "N/A"
                [max] => "N/A"
                [actual] => 0
                [pension_type] => "4"
                [result] => "N/A"
            )
        [2] => Array
            (
                [member] => 1
                [pension_name] => "1B"
                [min] => "N/A"
                [max] => "N/A"
                [actual] => 0
                [pension_type] => "4"
                [result] => "N/A"
            )
        [3] => Array
            (
                [member] => 1
                [pension_name] => "1C"
                [min] => "N/A"
                [max] => "N/A"
                [actual] => 0
                [pension_type] => "4"
                [result] => "N/A"
            )
        [4] => Array
            (
                [member] => 1
                [pension_name] => "2A"
                [min] => "N/A"
                [max] => "N/A"
                [actual] => 0
                [pension_type] => "4"
                [result] => "N/A"
            )
        [5] => Array
            (
                [member] => 1
                [pension_name] => "2B"
                [min] => "N/A"
                [max] => "N/A"
                [actual] => 0
                [pension_type] => "4"
                [result] => "N/A"
            )
        [6] => Array
            (
                [member] => 1
                [pension_name] => "3A"
                [min] => "N/A"
                [max] => "N/A"
                [actual] => 0
                [pension_type] => "4"
                [result] => "N/A"
            )
    )

I guess you're trying to convert your JSON to a PHP array, as that is not valid JavaScript output.

In order to do this, PHP provides a function called json_decode:

json_decode($json, true);

When var_dumping the result you'll get almost exactly your expected output.

There's not much I can help you with, when I know nothing about how you implemented the json_decode function.

Try to use a .each() loop:

myNewArray = [];
indexOfNestedArray = 0;

PensionLimit.each(function(index1, mySingleObject) {
    mySingleObject.each(function(index2, mySingleObjectSingleValue) {
        myNewArray[index1][index2] = mySingleObjectSingleValue;
    });
    indexOfNestedArray++;
});

user6199297 Over a year ago

myArrayOfObject in this example is your PensionLimit array.. Did you replace it?

KARTHI SRV Over a year ago

var myNewArray = []; indexOfNestedArray = 0; _.forEach(arr,function(index1, mySingleObject) { _.forEach(mySingleObject,function(index2, mySingleObjectSingleValue) { myNewArray[index1][index2] = mySingleObjectSingleValue; }); indexOfNestedArray++; }); console.log(myNewArray);
